We should give every chance to Veratti and co. Replacing him with an anchor would be ok but i don't think we'll have anyone up forward who can control the tempo.

the only reason you think he's horrible is because he enduring this season in a roma shirt. following that line of reasoning, their entire team is cack - which is simply untrue. pjanic, gago and lamela were excellent purchases and are quality players.
